By Own Correspondent| Harare Mayor Herbert Gomba has castigated Harare City Council “fraudsters” saying council would not hesitate to fire personnel who engaged in fraudulent activities.

Mayor Gomba’s statement come in the wake of revelations by Econet CEO Strive Masiiwa that council officials had tendered inflated quotations to Econet where a pair of gloves which costs $3 was priced at $65.

The development followed a donation by Econet towards the fight against cholera, which has so far claimed 30 lives.

Mayor Gomba said Harare City Council would not accept overpricing and unchecked tendering processes which defrauded anyone.

Said Mayor Gomba:

“We will not accept overpriced, unchecked pricing and tendering which defraud anyone , whether partners or council , soon the council will part with you if you do that.”
